 Tasted by David_T on 8/20/2012: Probably just past its peak. Shows a honeyed nose and a nice lychee/honey palate. Tasty but not much on the midpalate or finish. (1643 views)
 Tasted by Loren Sonkin on 8/7/2011 & rated 91 points: Leslie visits Cleveland - Part 2: Still showing youthfully. A testament to the glass corks perhaps? Sweet lychees on the nose. Slightly bitter on the palate, but complex and refreshing. Slick texture. (2618 views)
 Tasted by fingers on 1/17/2010 & rated 89 points: Light straw color, <5% opaque. Sweet honeydew and light citrus oil aroma. Excellent balance of acidity and sugar that really is closer to dry than off-dry but that touch of sweetness works so well with the spice and pepper in food. It makes the flavors just pop out with the combination. In addition, a platform of minerality gives a wonderfully clean feel. Almost perfect for Sushi - I might just go a touch sweeter with a Reisling next time. Will be happy to buy future vintages (5+10+17+7) = 89 (2017 views)
 Tasted by JFish on 11/8/2009: Paired with grilled halibut with rosemary lemon butter. This wine was all about lemon curd with a certain minerality and spiciness and zippy acidity. One of those wines that you can't stop drinking until the bottle is gone. (2169 views)
 Tasted by dhammer53 on 8/29/2009 & rated 91 points: Enjoyed this one year ago, and still do today. Foral elements. A hint of fruit, but not over the top. Went well with Thai food. Purchased at Max's store in pound Ridge. $22. (2564 views)
 Tasted by fingers on 1/1/2009 & rated 90 points: Very light pale yellow, about 5% saturated. Fragrance of sweet citrus fruit. Light body with great structure in it's flavors and acidity. (4+10+18+8) = 90 (1230 views)
 Tasted by dhammer53 on 8/21/2008 & rated 90 points: Enjoyed this bottle at Ouest Restaurant in NYC with business associates. Nice smell right out of the bottle. A hint of fruit, but not over the top. A nice floral feel to this wine. Went well with sea scallops.
Good QPR, even at restaurant prices ($45). (1660 views)
 Tasted by jfagan on 7/13/2008 & rated 91 points: I am seldom impressed with domestic Gewurtz (or imported for that matter) but this is special. More exotic fruit than urinal hokey puck aromas. Ripe, sweet but lively flavors really make this sing. From a very unique vineyard in the Gorge and from very old vines, I'm told. (1253 views)
 Tasted by manonthemoon on 6/8/2008 & rated 91 points: Nice light color. Nose is floral, with a hint of citrus. On the palate there is citrus, passion fruit, and a hint of a floral element that ends with some white pepper slight acidty. Light in body, nice when it is triple digits and at a Petty concert. Now this is my type of gewurz, would definately buy again at <$20. (1307 views)

Gewürztraminer

Varietal Character (Appellation America)

Celilo Vineyard

One of the most spectacular vineyard sites in the US, at a confluence of strikingly opposed climates, alpine mountains and the mammoth Columbia River basin. The Gewurtztraminer vines are over 35 years old, on steep exposition.

USA

American wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.
